R&B RELEASE: Usher - Here I Stand

Fans of LaFace/Zomba recording artist Usher are embracing the multi-talented superstar’s newest song, Love In This Club. It is the No. 1 song in the U.S! This accomplishment marks Usher’s eighth No. 1 single in the United States. Love In This Club, featuring Young Jeezy, co-written by Usher and produced by Polow Da Don is also being well-received by music critics; Entertainment Weekly calls it a must listen, proclaiming that Usher returns with his magnetic club groove.

Love In This Club is the first single from his eagerly-awaited fifth studio album titled Here I Stand, slated for worldwide release this June. Here I Stand is Usher’s follow-up to his history-making, U.S. 9x platinum-selling Confessions. Within the first week of the release of Confessions, Usher sold more than any other R&B artist in the history of Soundscan. The album spawned four U.S. #1 hit singles and Usher spent 40 weeks in the No. 1 position on The Billboard Hot 100– which is more than any other male artist in the nearly 50 year history of the chart.

Over the span of his 14-year career, Usher has sold close to 26 million albums worldwide and combining all of his single, album and DVD sales, he’s sold in excess of 36 million units globally. Usher’s fifth studio album Here I Stand will be released worldwide in June 2008.
